Astros Caravan starts next week

[Noe]

For those of you craving for me to shut the fuck up already about McNamee and Clemens and let's get some baseball talk going soon, well....

... like the birds returning to Capistrano, the signalling of the end of the Void is near.  Next week type of near.  The Houston Astros caravan will start to roll around the local Houston area, allowing for free autographs and picture taking with the select Astros players designated to appear at different venues.

Brian McTaggart of the chronicle has listed where the Houston appearance will be, so go check out his blog entry to get your preliminary information:

Astros Caravan is back

These events can be fun, so don't miss out on your chance to harass Kaz Matsui and be the first one on your block to do so.  Or go up to Brandon Backe and shake his hand for being, well.... Brandon Backe!  I personally would love to meet Jimmy D and ask him point blank: so, what nickname do you go by on the TZ?

I'm curious whether Richard Justice will show up in Kemah on Friday to ask Woody Williams whether he's still a management suck up.  Pinwheel probably has a thing that day, conflict in his schedule no doubt.  Wonder if he asked Footer whether she still was while sitting next to her at the Clemens press conference.

Did you happen to hear him (pinwheel) go off on a caller on the radio on Wed?

I don't listen to his radio show.

I am looking for a podcast but can't find it.  I think his radio show is outstanding.

[BUWebguy]

Any info on caravan stops outside the Houston area?

So what happened?  One of the producers steps outside, dials up the show on his cell phone, says his name is Joe from Spring, tells Pinwheel he's a fraud and the rehearsed tirade is on?  Not saying that any sports show would ever do such a thing to garner listernership... nope, not me... no way!

Richard Justice knows absolutely nothing about Houston sports.

Not sure it was scripted or not, but that is about how it happened.

I agree, but his guest do.  And he has alot of friends/guest in the city.

...McTaggart...

I can't see that name and not think: "I hired you people to try to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots."

[strosrays]

The one redeeming aspect.

I believe that is called The Charlie Rose Syndrome.

Well, the best tirades are the ones that are truly unscripted, so in honor of Goose Gossage, I give you:

Goose is just a tad upset with reporters

Not always unscripted, though.

Earl Weaver was the fucking master

If only we could get him in some sort of duet with Lee Elia.

Let's see he takes aim at reports, and fans and still makes it to the HOF.  That's impressive.

Here's an explative laden meltdown I've not heard before.

Anyone know the context?

The Link


I don't know if the sound bite followed this incident (see link), but I remember both Stottlemyre and Houston's own Charlie Hayes seemed to go mutually insane one night summer night in Phoenix in 1999.  Maybe this followed that.
